The child was under, 27 year old, Joseph Robert Patterson's care on Weds. At approximately 5:45 Patterson placed a call to 911 to say that the child was choking, but when the emergency staff arrived the child was unresponsive.

Patterson was arrested because the injuries the child sustained were unquestionably consistent with abuse.

Patterson stands to receive at least 40 years in prison if convicted.

Peterson has received numerous calls of support and tweeted Friday:

“I really appreciate all the support that I’ve been receiving from fans, the Vikings organization,” said Peterson, who missed practice on Thursday. “This is a private matter and I would ask you all to please just respect my privacy.”
